A duel academy is where you can come to duel, improve, chat and make friends among other things. We use the website Dueling Network for most of the things we do here, but some users may have a varient of YGOPro.

When you come to the academy there is an entrance exam, here you will be tested in a best 2 out of three match duel using this rubric (https://armagedda.4umer.com/t60-new-testing-rubric). This will decide which dorm you are in at the academy, you can take a retest as long as the conditions are met for one.





When you join the academy, you should post an introduction about yourself, so people can know some more about you. You should also do this in your dorm room, in your respective dorm.



As you can see people on the academy have different colors, you can find what these mean at the bottom of the main page, but here there will be more go information. If a member is grey, that means they are untested and aren't in a dorm yet. If a member is brown, that means they are in the Knight brown dorm. If a member is blue, that means they are in the Adreus Blue Dorm. If a member is white, this means they are in the Demise White dorm. If a member is green, this means that they are a VIP, a VIP is a member that was once in the Abandoned Dark dorm or an admin, but are no longer for a reason. If a member is light blue, this means that they are a tester, a tester and above can test you for your entrance exam or any retests. If a members pink, this means that they are a teacher, they post regular lessons in the teacher's office and you can ask them about rulings or making a deck and they might help. If a member is purple, this means they are in the Abandoned Dark Castle Dorm, these people are dorm leaders and moderators. If a user is gold, this means they are an admin, admins are the people with the highest authority in the academy and they greatly help the academy run.


Here at ADA, we have a points system, you can use these points to buy a decklist from shops people have opened in the ADA shop, or you can use them for a retest (100 points). You can obtain points by recruiting members, posting, doing weekly homework set by either me, or your dorm leader and you can participate in arena duels.


An arena duel is either a duel in which you can win points. In a normal arena duel, the two duelists will duel in a single match and the winner will get 10 points (if they have proof of the win). There's also shadow duels and in shadow duels you bet points and your opponent must bet the same and the winner takes all, a shadow duel is a match duel as opposed to a single one.


At the academy we do tournaments (which can be found here), our "signature" tournament is the Grand Prix, where teams of duelists duel against other teams to win, but we also hold standard tournaments as well. Winning a tournament will award you with starchips and the more you have, the more people will see you as a good duelist that can win tournaments.


There are academy rankings at the academy, here the most active duelists will be posted, this is based on posts, ADA points and general activity.


This is the end of the user guide, if you have any more questions ask on the chat or Pm an admin. I hope you enjoy your stay at Armageddon Duel Academy.
